Plow over others, for
tho ouitirathmof both Cot- j
ton and Corn are many, (mt I shall mention
only its loading merits: With four wings,
two small and two large, it can be converted
int* Seven different Plows, all of which are
very necessary for the cultivation of dif
ferent crops. And another very important
feature is durability. A Plow oomploted
will last a man from two to five years, accord
ing to the soil he cultivates, and will only
cost ubout Three Dollars to put It up. An
Agency will soon bo established in Rome,
and then planters will be invited to call and

RESIDENT DENTIST.
R ESPECTFULLY informs his friends, and
the public generally, that he continues
the practice of D ENTlStR Y hr all tts branch -
of, and has fitted up an office, over the store
of McOulre 4 Pinson, where he is prepared
to execute all operations appertaining to Den
tistry, in the most approved manner.
He would also call the. particular attention
of those in want of Artificial Work, to his su
perior style of tooth, set on gold plate; for
beauty, strength and life-like appedeance,
they are not surpassed, As an impression bos
beon made that my prices for dental opera
tions are higher than tho usual run of Den
tists, I bog leave to say that they are thesame
as charged by Dentists at Augusta, Macon
and Savannan. For Artificial Work my char
ges are as follows:
Entire Sets Uppor and Lower from$100 to Jfest
Half Sets, Upper or Lower, from 50 to 150
Temporary Sets, Uppor and Lower, 25 each.
Partiul Sots in proportion to the above.
As I am well posted in all tlio late improve
ments »f the day, I feel confident that I can
meet tho wants of all who may need tho ser
vices of a Dentist, and if referencos are want
ed; as to their ntility in answering the purpo
ses of nature, I can givo them in abundance,
from thoso who Save tested my skill, for the
last fourteen years, in this, end adjoining

■ - : Life Everywhere. 1 ''
Under' this caption ft very inter
esting and instructive article makes
its-' appearance in the Cdrnhill Maga
zine :
“Life everywhere! The air is crowd
ed with birds-^-beautiftil, tender, intel
ligent birds,-to whom life its song and
a thrilling anxiety—the anxiety oflove.
The air is swarming with insects—those
littlo animated f miracles. The wate
nro peopled with innumerable forrtl*-
from the animalcule, so small that on
hundred andfiftymillibiis ofthem woul
not weigh a grain, to the whale,
large that it seems an island as It alee]
upon tho waves. The bed of- ttae sea
alive with polypi, carps,-star fishes and
with shell animalcule*. The rugged
face of the rook is seared by the silent
boring of soft creatureb, and blackened
with countless muscles, barnacles And
limpets. ' •! -ii,
“Life everywhere 1 on the earth, in
the earth, crawling, creeping burrowing
boring, leaping, running. If the se
questered coolness of the' wood tempt
us to saunter into its checkered- shade
we are saluted by the numerous din o
insects, the twitter of birds, the sonuq
bling of squirrels^ the startled- rush o
unseen beasts, all telling how popu
is this seeming solitude; If we
before a tree, or shrub, or plant, o
cursory and half abstracted glance d
tects a colony of various inhabitants
We pluok a flower, and in its bosom we
see many a charming inspot busy in i
appointed labor, i We pick a fallen leaf
and if nothing is visible on it, there is
probably a trqce of an insect larva hid
den in its tissue, and awaiting it« devel
opment. TRe drop of dew upon -this
leaf will probably contain its animals,
under the microscope. •
“The same microscope reveals tha
the bloodrain suddenly appearing-
bread, and awakening superstitious
rors, is nothing but-a collection of
ute animals, (Mona*prodigosa ;) and
the vast tracts of snow whieh- are
denodin a single night, owe their,
to the marvellous rapidiW in repfodu
tion of a minute plant, (Protat

of a summer sea at night, as the v
ploughs her way, or Whioh drips

Made to Lay.
A lady correspondent writing fro
Kansas relates the following extraordi
nary proceeding:
After breakfast I was surprised
see my landlady go out, and- cntchin
her hens, tie each one’s legs togethe
and throw them upon the ground, t
ing:
“There—be good.”
“What did you do that for?” I as
ed.
“To make ’em lay,” she onsweerd.
“Make them lay f Will that do it?
I enquired.
“La, yes,” she said. “Didn’t you e
er hear tell of that befors ?” I conf
ed that I had not. In ah hour she wen
out again and pioking up the hon
sui-e enough some of them had laid.
These she let go and they Tan off, n
even cackling their gratitude. B
those hens that seemed disposed to
contrary she struck on the back, sayin
"You'd bettor lay—you’d better la
for you won’t go until you do”-—a
in a little while they, too, had
pensed their mistress for feeding the
so bountifully. She says that she d
so every morning, and the hens kn
well enough that “they hare got
lay.”
865“An Irishman out West eoncei
ing that a little powder thrown n
some green wood would facilitate
burning directed a small stream
keg upon the smoking pile; b .
possesing a hand sufficiently quiok-
cut this off at the desirable mome
was blown Into a million pieoes. T
coroner for the occasion reasoned,
this verdiot:
“It can’t be called suioide. bekase
didn’t mean to kill himself; it w
‘visitation of God,’ bekase he v
struck by lightnin’; he didn’t die
want of breath for he hadn’t anyt
left to breathe with, its plain he di
know what he was about; sol
bring in “died for want of commpn
sense.”’
